Former Ohio State women's assistant coach, and father of former Buckeye star Kelsey Mitchell, has a new team.

Mitchell, who left the program earlier this month, initially wanted to remain in women's college basketball as a head coach, but will instead head back to the high school men's ranks, where he's been quite successful.

From wpco.com:

When Mitchell stepped down from Ohio State he said he had the idea of becoming a college head coach. But, he wasn't able to find a vacancy in the collegiate women's game so he wanted to return to the high school level. 

"I get a chance to coach the game and stay around the game," Mitchell told WCPO. "I can give back and work with high school kids. It's also close to home and I can get back and forth to Indy and watch Kelsey play."
